Imphal, June 15 2016:
Expressing strong resentment over the ongoing 10-day eco-nomic blockade imposed by Joint Action Committee Against Anti-Tribal Bills and Outer Manipur Tribals' Forum on all the National Highways, Apunba Meitei Leima Meira Lup (AMIL), Nongchup Mai-kei imposed counter economic blockade on Imphal-Jiribam road today.
In a statement, the president of the Lup stated that it is unfortunate that the 10-day economic blockade was imposed despite the three Bills being withheld by the Centre.
The Lup also warned shopkeepers and traders against raising the prices of essential commodities and if anyone is caught doing so, their shop will be shut forever.
It also extended support to the JAC Against Economic Blockade, Yairipok.
